The Binibining Pilipinas queens with the cancer-stricken children of the Philippine Children’s Medical Center

Time and again, Binibining Pilipinas queens have proven that there is more to them than meets the eye. On June 29, they passionately visited cancer-stricken children of the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) in Quezon City.

As if enjoying the chance to be kids all over again, the poised and elegant binibinis sang songs and engaged in playful activities, spreading hope and cheer to almost 20 cancer patients.

Wurtzbach exuberantly shared how being a part of Binibining Pilipinas allows her to serve as an inspiration to others. “I think all the girls will agree with me in saying that the best thing about being a beauty queen is being able to impact the lives of other people and be relevant pieces of our society. We’ve had so many charity visits lately and I’m so grateful that the foundation allows us to share our blessings and time with others especially to the next generation.”

The Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) has been actively participating in charitable activities, providing aid and support to non-government organizations like Gawad Kalinga and Operation Smile. Recently, the binibinis helped paint houses in Tanay, Rizal. They also visited and helped prepare kids with cleft palate and facial deformities before their surgeries in Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila.
